Learn how body jewellery works at Jade Alexandra Collective, Durham. From threads to hinged rings, discover safe implant-grade jewellery designed to last. How professional body jewellery works. If you’re unfamiliar with the types of body jewelry used in piercings today, it can be a bit confusing. You may be wondering how to remove it, take it apart, or put it back in if it becomes loose or falls out. Modern professional piercing jewellery is quite different from the older “scroll” or “butterfly” backed designs, which can be commonly used. While those styles can still be fine for healed earlobe piercings, they pose significant challenges in fresh piercings or in areas beyond the lobes. The main issue with older styles like the butterfly backing is that they are difficult to keep clean, often collecting dirt and debris in their crevices, which increases the risk of infection. Additionally, the poor surface polish of these designs makes healing more difficult and can lead to prolonged irritation. They also typically come in only one size, which can result in the jewellery being too short, causing it to embed into the tissue and sometimes requiring surgical removal. Given the vast differences in human anatomy, it’s simply not practical to use this outdated style of jewellery for modern piercings. Thankfully, piercing practices have evolved, and today’s jewellery is designed with both size and style flexibility, ensuring it’s easier to clean, more comfortable to wear, and better for healing. Modern body jewellery also features innovative mechanisms for secure attachment, offering a wide range of options that suit various placements and accommodate individual anatomical differences, all while supporting successful healing and long-term wear. Style of jewellery. If you were pierced with us, your piercer should have given you an aftercare leaflet with your jewellery details on it, including the type, length, gauge and mechanism. If you still have this it will be good to take a look for your reference. Body jewellery for piercing is made up of components, which typically include a shaft or post and attachment. The shaft is the part that passes through the piercing, whilst the attachment is typically the decorative part of the jewellery. Attachments are inserted into the shaft or post with either a threading (screwed into) mechanism or held in by tension with a thread-less/push pin ( pushed into) mechanism. Shafts come in numerous styles, such as: Labret - a straight post with a fixed disk and single hole for attachment Barbell - a straight post with holes for attachments on both ends Curved barbell -a curved post with holes for attachments on both ends Circular barbell - an almost fully circular post similar to a ''horseshoe'' with holes for attachments on both ends If your style of jewellery is a ring, it may be hinged, captive/segment or seamless in style. To tighten threaded jewellery, turn the attachment clockwise to screw into the threaded post until it will not turn further any further and has locked into place securely. To remove the attachment, simply unthread it by unscrewing anti-clockwise until the attachment is released from the post. To adjust the tension or remove thread-less jewellery, please watch the video demonstration. See diagrams for reference

Advanced polynucleotide treatments in Durham at Jade Alexandra Collective. A regenerative approach to improving skin quality, texture and tissue repair through careful, conservative treatment. Polynucleotide Treatments Polynucleotide treatments are advanced injectable skin therapies derived from highly purified salmon DNA, designed to support skin regeneration, repair, and overall skin quality at a cellular level. They work by stimulating natural repair processes within the skin, improving hydration, elasticity, and resilience over time. The treatment focuses on strengthening the skin rather than altering facial movement or structure. At Jade Alexandra Collective, polynucleotide treatments are delivered with careful consideration of skin condition and individual goals. Treatments are anatomy-led, evidence-based, and tailored to support skin regeneration and long-term skin health. While suitable for the majority of people, relevant health information is reviewed to ensure treatments are provided safely and appropriately. Polynucleotide treatments may be suitable for improving: Fine lines and early signs of ageing Crepey, thin, or fragile skin Loss of elasticity and firmness Dull, dehydrated, or stressed skin Under-eye skin quality concerns Skin affected by inflammation or environmental damage Polynucleotides support fibroblast activity, collagen and elastin production, and microcirculation, helping the skin to repair, strengthen, and function more effectively. The result is healthier, more resilient skin with a refreshed, natural appearance. Results develop gradually as the skin regenerates. Improvements in hydration and texture are often noticed first, with continued enhancement in skin quality over the following weeks. For optimal and longer-lasting results, a course of three treatments is commonly recommended, with maintenance sessions advised where appropriate. Results are cumulative and not immediate. This treatment is suited to those seeking regenerative improvement and long-term skin health rather than instant or dramatic change. Polynucleotide treatments are only provided where appropriate and following informed consent. Full aftercare guidance is provided to support recovery and optimal outcomes. Price Polynucleotide treatments are available. Treatment prices start from £200.00. Book Now

Dermal filler in Durham at Jade Alexandra Collective. Conservative, anatomy-led lip filler and facial line treatments designed for natural, balanced results. DERMAL FILLER Dermal Filler Dermal filler is a gel-like substance injected into specific areas of the face to soften lines and restore subtle volume. Most dermal fillers are composed primarily of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally present in the skin, allowing the product to integrate smoothly and provide natural-looking results when appropriately placed. At Jade Alexandra Collective, dermal filler treatments are limited to selected areas and are approached conservatively, following a full consultation and suitability assessment. Dermal filler is used to treat: Lip enhancement and shaping Nasolabial folds (lines from the nose to the mouth) Marionette lines (lines from the corners of the mouth) Each treatment begins with an in-depth consultation to assess facial anatomy, discuss concerns, and outline realistic expectations. Not every concern requires filler, and treatment is only offered where clinically appropriate. Results are visible immediately following treatment, with final outcomes typically becoming more apparent after 1 to 2 weeks as swelling settles and the tissue adjusts. Full aftercare guidance is provided to support healing and optimal results. Price Professional dermal filler treatments are available. Treatment prices start from £100.00. Book Now

Advanced skin boosters in Durham at Jade Alexandra Collective. Profhilo, Revs Pro and Lumi Pro to improve hydration, elasticity and skin quality through targeted treatment.

Results develop gradually and focus on improving overall skin quality and resilience. BAP Technique (Bio Aesthetic Points) Skin booster treatments at Jade Alexandra Collective are delivered using the BAP (Bio Aesthetic Points) technique, where clinically defined injection points are used to allow the product to diffuse evenly through the skin. The BAP technique is designed to: Optimise product spread within the tissue Improve overall skin quality and hydration Reduce the number of injection points required Support a more comfortable treatment experience By placing the skin booster at strategic anatomical points, the product can integrate more evenly across the treated area, supporting balanced and natural-looking improvement in skin quality. Treatment Options Profhilo Profhilo is a stabilised hyaluronic acid treatment designed to deeply hydrate the skin and stimulate collagen and elastin production. It spreads evenly within the tissue, improving firmness, elasticity, and skin laxity. Profhilo is commonly used to address dull, dehydrated, or ageing skin. Revs Pro 32 Revs Pro 32 is a bio-aesthetic skin booster formulated with a high concentration of hyaluronic acid and supportive active ingredients to improve skin hydration, elasticity, and overall skin quality.
